When my app goes to background and back, modal view closes. Why is this happend? I tried with pause on and off. I have ARC enabled, if it is a useful info.
MPMoviePlayerViewController * player = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:targetURL];
[player.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:player];
In case anyone else stumbles across this (as I did before I found my own solution), I was able to prevent MPMoviePlayerViewController from exiting when the app backgrounds by subclassing it and removing it as an observer of UIApplicationDidEnterBackgroundNotification:
- (id)initWithContentURL:(NSURL *)contentURL {
self = [super initWithContentURL:contentURL];
if (self){
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIApplicationDidEnterBackgroundNotification object:nil];
}
return self;
}
